A Tribute To The Legendary Second Egyptian President Gamal Abd El Nasser (15 January 1918 – 28 September 1970)

Gamal Abdel Nasser (Arabic: جمال عبد الناصر‎; Gamāl ‘Abd an-Nāṣir; Egyptian Arabic: IPA: [ɡæˈmæːl ʕæbdenˈnɑːsˤer]; 15 January 1918 – 28 September 1970) was the second President of Egypt from 1956 until his death. Along with Mohammad Naguib, the first President, he led the Egyptian Revolution of 1952 which overthrew the monarchy of Egypt and Sudan, and heralded a new period of modernization, and socialist reform in Egypt together with a profound advancement of pan-Arab nationalism, including a short-lived union with Syria.Nasser is seen as one of the most important political figures in both modern Arab history, and Developing World politics in the 20th century. Under his leadership, Egypt nationalised the Suez Canal, and came to play a central role in anti-imperialist efforts in the Arab World, and Africa. He was also instrumental in the establishment of the international Non-Aligned Movement. He is well-known for his nationalist policies and version of pan-Arabism, also referred to as Nasserism, which won a great following in the Arab World during the 1950s and 1960s. Although his status as "leader of the Arabs" was severely tarnished by the Israeli victory over the Arab armies in the Six Day War, many in the general Arab populace still view Nasser as a symbol of Arab dignity and freedom...(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamal_Abdel_Nasser)

Super Chess GM \Tigran L. Petrosian Celebrates His 26th Birthday

  








          




GM.Tigran L. Petrosian (Armenian: Տիգրան Պետրոսյան; born September 17, 1984) is an Armenian chess player who holds the title of grandmaster (2002). His first name was deliberately chosen by his father to match the name of the former world champion Tigran V. Petrosian who was also of Armenian descent. It happened that, when the late Tigran won the world title, Tigran's father dreamt that if he ever had a son he would call him Tigran.Petrosian learned chess at the age of five. He received coaching from Gagik Sargissian and Melikset Khachiyan before entering a chess academy in 2002, where he was occasionally instructed by GM Arsen Yegiazarian and IM Ashot Nadanian. He achieved his grandmaster title by scoring norms at the under 18 World Championship in 2002, the Batumi Open in 2003, and the Aeroflot Open in Moscow in 2004.In 2005, he tied for first in Tehran, Kish and Lausanne; in 2006 tied for first in Lyon and Dubai; in 2008 tied for first in Wheeling and Las Vegas. He plays on the Internet Chess Club (ICC) under the pseudonym "Tigrano".In December 2009, he was awarded the title of "Honoured Master of Sport of the Republic of Armenia"...(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigran_L._Petrosian)
